Billionaire's Secret Daughter

{Mature content} Slow burn: so be warned She is a billionaire's daughter in search of true love, despite all the heartbreaks she has been through... He is a tycoon's son looking for true love... when their paths cross will there be a great love story between these two? ********* "What do you think about Elias?" Esmeralda blinked dumbly at her father, her mind turning blank. Noticing his daughter's expression, the older man chuckled. "I had a conversation with Patrick yesterday." Hearing the name of her father's dear friend, Esmeralda's heart dropped. She didn't have a good feeling about where this conversation was going. "He had brought up a brilliant suggestion." Her father's eyes practically sparkled with excitement, a direct contrast to the building dread in Esmeralda's stomach. "My dear, how do you feel about marrying Elias?" Elias was Patrick's son, someone that Esmeralda had grown up with. However, that was all he was to her. Elias is just a friend and nothing more to her. "I don't like Elias that way, Dad." Esmeralda frowned. "You don't?'' Mr. Fernandez asked after hearing his daughter's reply. Esmeralda exhaled. "Dad, look, Elias and I are just friends. Nothing more." "But you two were so close growing up. It would be a good match, Esmeralda," her father said. Silently, Esmeralda tightly clenched her fists at her sides, trying her best to contain herself. Her father was always like this-- once he had made a decision, he wouldn't listen to any other suggestions, even if he was the one that had asked for those differing opinions in the first place. "But Dad--" "Who knows?" Mr. Fernandez cut in before Esmeralda could finish her sentence. "As the saying goes, no good relationship starts without a good friendship first. After your marriage, you might both develop feelings for each other." "Elias and I--" Ignoring her, he continued, "The boy might even welcome the arrangement. We always thought that he had a thing for you." With a wink, Mr. Fernandez stood up from his seat. "Try talking to him first so that we can get an idea of what he feels about this arrangement, alright? If he has feelings for you, it wouldn't be too bad an idea to get married," he said. Walking over, he gave his daughter's shoulder a light squeeze. All Esmeralda felt were the chains on her body tightening. She didn't want this marriage; she didn't need to be bound by it. However, nothing she was saying was getting through to her father. "I'm sure that after you see how much he loves you and how good he is, you will eventually learn to love him too." With those final words, Mr. Fenandez left the room, leaving his daughter to simmer in the aftershock of the news he had just dropped on her. Like it?

NOTICED

Petro kept eying Linda who is busy arguing with his mother, the girl was too intense with what she is doing that she didn't even notice him looking at her since…

He has to admit, the girl is quite pretty. Her kohl-black hair that plunged over her shoulder made her look very attractive. Before he didn't even care about her to even think of him liking her, but now looking at the girl from this distance he regrets not having to have enjoyed the girl first before rejecting her.

Petro sighed, Linda's heart-shaped lips are making him lose control, he wonders what they will taste like if he is to kiss her.

"Alright, then aunt so you claim to have no idea on what am talking about, then I won't mine enlighten you… your brother almost died earlier and you are here been innocent with me?"

Vanessa in her full glory, moved closer to Linda, "What did you just say? Robert had an attack?" she asked Linda still pretending.

"Yes, dad had an attack when he was with Esme, earlier that's why she was shouting for everyone to come down earlier."

Vanessa let out a sigh, so she was right, Robert did have an attack that was why his precious daughter was shouting all around earlier, "I heard nothing… and are you forgetting am a sick person and that's also why I am inside this room with my son taking care of his mother."

"Oh please, cut the crab, you sick? Am beginning to think you are faking it!" Linda spat at Vanessa.

Vanessa ignored Linda's comments to turn and see what her son is doing only to find him staring at the girl. She can't believe what she is seeing, how on earth can he allow himself to let this happen? Her boy is supposed to be chasing over Esmeralda and not be here drooling over Linda.

Vanessa knows whatever is happening with Petro isn't good for her plans, she can't allow his foolishness to destroy all her years of hard work. Oh, God! She must-stops this before it goes too far.

"Let's go, missy, I want to see Robert," she dragged Linda out of the room before she also notice Petro busy looking at her. The girl might make use of it to her advantage. She of course can't allow such a thing to happen.

What the hell is Petro doing? Has he lost it?

Petro came back to his senses after his mother dragged Linda out after noticing his eyes were on the girl. He is in trouble and he knows it for sure. His mother has seen how he was drooling over Linda. But what she has to understand is that even his own actions surprised him too.

He has never done anything like this before and he must make sure it never happens again.

Petro himself can't believe his own actions, he realized he must be cautions whenever he is beside Linda from now on to avoid today from repeating itself.

"Why are you dragging me like this Vanessa?" Linda shouts, her so-called aunt has been dragging her since they left her bedroom, the woman has turned into a psycho.

"Shh, Aunt Vanessa….do you hear me? When we enter that room," Vanessa said pointing towards Robert's bedroom " you are to refer me with aunt Vanessa… or do you want your precious father to have another attack upon gearing you call me by my name? Hmm?"

Linda jerks her hand out of Vanessa's hold. The woman is too cunning she must be careful while dealing with her.

'Oh! My poor Linda am soon going to get into that little head of yours' Vanessa mumbles to herself.

Linda ignored Vanessa and pushes open the door to Roberts's room. They both saw Esmeralda lying beside Robert with her head in his arms.

"Sis, you okay?" Linda worriedly asked.

"Am alright, I was just lying beside dad before you come."

"Esmeralda my dear, am sorry darling, I was in deep slumber and didn't hear what happened." Vanessa hurried to Esmeralda's side.

"It's okay aunt… Linda and I kind of guessed that."

"Linda informed me of all that happened…. How is Robert doing now?" Vanessa asked.

"Dad is alright now, the doctor said he will wake up after some time. He is asleep due to the seductive he was given earlier." Esmeralda explained to her aunt.

"And Petro where is he?" Vanessa who sat beside Robert heard Esmeralda ask.

"Your cousin is coming; he also didn't hear you either because he was resting beside me after how tired he is from his trip."

"I see." These were the only words that came out of Esmeralda's mouth.

"You don't believe me, dear?" Vanessa asked with her most innocent expression. Esmeralda doesn't seem to buy her story at all.
